Antifreeze leak?

Over a period of two months my coolant container level went from middle to almost none. Is this normal or do I have a leak? If I do have a leak where are the most common places to find these leaks? My smoke isnt white. I have noticed tiny puddles in front of the driver's side front tire almost right below the head light of my firebird. Its not enough to tell if its water or antifreeze.

water pump week hole on the bottom of it.

radiator is cracked on that side and leaks when it gets pressure and then shrinks, etc..


radiator hose might need replaced or tightened down.

i would start with the main hose on the drivers side, then look up and down the radiator on that side.
